The workshop is organised by GEUS and the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (BMP).
The aim of the workshop is to assess the presence of undiscovered zinc deposits in Greenland in the top 1 km of the Earth's crust. Compiled information on known deposits and examinations of different geological provinces are used to assess the zinc potential.
The workshop will make use of a standardized process in which an expert panel, comprising geoscientists with knowledge on zinc mineralisation and/or Greenland geology assess all data, literature, former work, map, etc. and discuss and assess the possibilities of undiscovered sedimentary zinc deposits within predefined areas.
Two international zinc deposit experts will attend. The present knowledge about different known zinc deposits in Greenland and the geology and settings of the zinc potential areas will be presented.
The workshop is open to all with an interest in economic geology. However, all non-panel participants will have a status as observer in the workshop and cannot participate in the expert panel.
